Based on solid farm and orchard service centres, the villages of the
Ruby Coast Moutere Hills have seen an evolution over the past three
decades as lifestylers have moved in, tourism has grown and a global
culture has brought increased sophistication to rural New Zealand.

Made up of populations who have chosen to stay, or come to live here, the villages of the region have a high sense of community cohesion.

These communities are positive examples of today’s New Zealand with
diverse populations and a sense of purpose and commitment to their
children’s futures.

Ruby Coast Moutere Hills’ communities
celebrate their history, traditions and culture. There is a genuine
friendliness among locals that extends into a welcome for visitors.

People
are committed to preserving what makes the region special: the
landscape, the estuary with its flora and fauna and the lifestyle. For
